Officer Evaluation Report: "This guy’s a nut case. In fact, his whole family’s screwy. Alec Pierce is a ballsy version of your worst fears in the Agency. He’s young. Well, he’s about 35. He’s handsome. He’s resourceful. He’ll find a way to embarrass the Pope. But he’s James Bond. He operates by his own rules. In other words, he’s a maverick. He’s unpredictable, and he’ll change the nature of an assignment to suit his needs." (Hugh Gutman describing Alec Pierce in Fatal Sting)
